Nursery Progress!!

Michelle's room is finally starting to get worked on again! My sister Nikki surprised me with a beautiful homemade quilt she made for the nursery, and since we are getting a new rocking chair for the room tomorrow, I had to start getting more stuff done.

My mom came over and we put putty in the holes on the baseboards, sanded them, and painted them! Then, we re-vacuumed the room, hung up her hanging lantern, and put up her window valance! My mom also hung up all of the baby's clothes in the closet, but since we are adding racks and stuff in there, we will have to rehang them in a bit. Either way, the room looks awesome!

Below are some pics of the room, and the pretty quilt my sis made on the crib! We have so much more to do (wall decorations, tying down the wires from the lantern, and painting Misha's toybox...but it looks freaking awesome so far! <3

Long time, No Blog

A lot has happened since my emo-ridden post in December. I hit the halfway point in my pregnancy, started working on the nursery, and had my first (informal) baby shower with my four close friends. The get together was very nice and it was so generous of my friends to buy us gifts already! I felt so loved and I know Michelle will feel the love too :)
Yesterday we had an ultrasound appointment at Kaiser to check Michelle's progress and learned that she is one pound one ounce..already!? Dang girl, I hope she stays on the smaller side. :) She is a very active baby in the evenings and late afternoon, but was barely moving for the ultrasound at 9 am. Definitely a Bergman baby! She likes her sleep :)
Tonight there is a prenatal yoga class being offered in Fairfield by my house, but I am scared to go. My doctor really recommended me to go to one, but I hate doing stuff like that alone. I haven't been in a yoga classroom in about 7 years, and my belly bump isn't as pretty and round as other girls. I really should go though! I've been having back pain and my muscles feel tight, so this would be awesome for me, but socially, I am a turd. Lol
I started school in the first week of January and it's already stressful, but way better than last quarter. I am taking two education classes and one sociology class (yay!), so I am immersed in stuff I actually enjoy learning about. The only bummer is that I couldn't get into a Soc class I NEEDED to graduate, so I have to take it next quarter and risk missing the last few weeks because I'll be giving birth or something. Ah well, I'm just gonna let the universe handle this one and see what happens. At least I'll only have one academic class next quarter along with the two art classes I am planning to take.

Below are some pictures from the ultrasound. The first is Misha's profile, the second is her little foot!
Next, here are some pictures of her room, with the new wall color, handmade blankets and pillows (by me!!), and cute wall plaque with her name. 



And lastly is a shot from way back at 19.6 weeks (I'm 22 now). I am chilling on the bed so my bump looks much rounder and cuter ;-)
Sorry for the delay in updating. I'll be back soon!
